There are so many nuances to buying a car for your family that I never had to think about when it was just me. I upgraded from my little compact car to my first “mom car” (a Honda Pilot) when Blaire was a month old. All I saw was more trunk space for the stroller. I also loved that it felt safer than my little car. It was…

Thank you to Graco for providing us with these car seats to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I’ve mentioned quite a few times how important car seat safety is to me. When Blaire was born, I was CLUELESS about car seat safety. In the hospital they told us she looked good in her car seat and that was that. I look back on some photos and…

When I was a new mom, car seats seemed so self explanatory. Buckle your baby in and they’re just good to go, right?! Wrong. And if you thought car seat safety ended when your baby isn’t in…

If you had asked me while I was pregnant with Blaire what I would be most passionate about when it came to childcare, I would have probably said something like creating fun, educational activities daily instead of letting my child watch tv… or I am never letting my child eat anything that’s not organic. Well, both of these would have been wrong. Turns out pregnant Trista was a little delusional about…
